If I were to tell you that things are about to get much, much worse,
You would probably just scold me again later.
The fact that we were even made to live in the first place is cruel –
Everyone alive knows that to a sickening degree.

I have something I want to show you someday…
It alone remains always within my heart.

As I lose track of something that will never flow forth again,
Your eyes are fixed on something far beyond the clouds.
You’re surely believing there’s a paradise we can reach…

Immediately after waking up, I took in a deep, unconscious breath,
And choked on the cold morning air.
I look back, thinking we must have come quite far,
And try to think for a bit about the roads we’ve treaded up ’til now;

Some say that all you really need,
Are vague, yet happy memories.

While seeking out something that will never be granted to us again,
Though it’s so far off, the two of us only manage to end up covered in dirt.
But I surely just want to believe in a paradise that will allow you to smile as well.

So that we can see the sea by tomorrow,
We pick up our pace just a bit.
So that we don’t end up regretting yesterday over again,
We speed up time just a bit.

As I lose track of something that will never flow forth again,
Your eyes are fixed on something far beyond the clouds.
You’re surely still believing there’s a paradise we can reach…

… surely, for the sake of my many selves who only just now managed to smile.

まだまだこの旅はきついものになるなんて
きみに言うと後でまた叱られるんだ
そもそも生きることそれ自体が残酷で
そんなこと誰だって嫌ほど知ってると

きみにはいつか見せたいものがある
それだけはずっとこの胸に

もう二度とは触れることない何かを失いながら
遠く雲の向こうをただきみは見つめているだけ
きっと辿り着ける楽園を今も信じている

目覚めた後すぐに朝の冷たい空気を
思いきり吸い込んでむせたりもする
随分遠くまで来たものだと振り返り
少しだけ踏まれてきた道を思ってもみる

曖昧でも幸せだった記憶
それだけがあればいいと言う

もう二度とは叶えられない何かを探し求めながら
遠い割りにただ土に汚れてゆくふたりだけ
きっときみも笑える楽園を今は信じたい

明日も海が見られるように
少しだけ足を速めて
昨日を悔やみ直さぬように
少しだけ時を早めて

もう二度とは触れることない何かを失いながら
遠く雲の向こうをただきみは見つめているだけ
きっと辿り着ける楽園を今も信じている

きっと今まで笑った数多くのあたしのため
